Relevant article here suggesting that the intensity of watching hockey games from your couch can put the same stress on your heart as a vigorous workout! Something to keep in mind for these upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs.....https://t.co/eo3fjz632Z #biom4180

The Mediterranean diet is considered by many to be a very sustainable diet for long-term health! Lots of its benefits be attributed to the emphasis on non processed whole foods and healthy mono-unsaturated and omega 3 fat sources! #biom4180

Researchers found that those with CKD have increased risk of ischemic events and that antiplatelet therapies were being underused! Shows the importance of considering comorbidities in treatment! #biom4180 https://t.co/BtAZU1ReIb

@AliciaCardio Didn't even consider this! #biom4180 Does injury and infraction lead to the same outcomes?

My family doctor informed my parents of this before I was born and I'm so glad they did! #biom4180

Most moms know to be #SmokeFree during #pregnancy, but did you know that the father-to-be should quit as well? The secondhand smoke due to paternal smoking also has associations with congenital heart defects. It's best to quit before conceiving #biom4180 https://t.co/PcTmAwaZjq

The #NFL's already under heat because of concussions, now cardiovascular issues? This study found that the LV hypertrophy in former NFL players was correlated high BP and hypertension. Take a guess, adaptive or maladaptive? Or both?! #biom4180 https://t.co/TXVOBkNGPS

Learned about the gut's vast health implications in metabolic controls of disease class. Would love to see more research as to its implications in cardiovascular health. What does this mean for antibiotics? #biom4180 https://t.co/kNrvNc4c5S

The risk of stroke in never-smokers that experienced secondhand smoke as a child is 1.69 times normal! Grateful that my father stopped smoking when I was born! #biom4180 https://t.co/DCOylVgHvO

Are we repeating #history? A common blood pressure medication might increase the risk of cardiac arrest. I wonder if the pharmaceutical company knows more than they've lead on?? #biom4180 https://t.co/ZIfuzHSNu1

@ekarageorgos @cardiology_4180 Might be time to rethink my breakfast! #biom4180

An interesting correlation between the #environment and #CVD. We normally associate CVD risk with things like fatty foods, physical inactivity, or even toxins. However, we should really start considering the air we breathe! #biom4180

[Cardiovascular Business @CardioBusiness]

Air pollution contributes to 8.8M deaths each year, about double previous estimates, according to a new analysis. Most of the deaths were also attributed to #CVD https://t.co/BgWx4hUyUq

Since today is #StPatricksDay I think its important keep in mind that alcohol can cause negative cardiovascular events! This study found a correlation between alcohol intake and certain types of stroke! #biom4180

Important to understand that the major impact lifestyle factors play in CVD risk! For those with genetic predispositions, this is even more crucial. The best cure is prevention! #biom4180

[Cardiology Today @CardiologyToday]

Plant-based diets with whole grains, fruits and veggies lower CV mortality risk - #CardioTwitter, #CVD https://t.co/HGtNVmAOLr

Learned about the impact of organ donation from a transplant patient the other day! I've always thought I was signed up to be an organ donor... Turns out I wasn't so for all of those who think they are, double check! #biom4180 https://t.co/YBfjUBmFmx

A new drug that might actually limit damage to the heart muscle during a myocardial infarction by inhibiting MAP4K4! MAP4K4 is implicated in apoptosis pathways. Still in in-vivio phases however might have big implications for those at risk. #biom4180

I’ll have to mention this to my cousin! He swears by red wine religiously. Has a glass every night! #biom4180

Given the work-load professionals face, finding the time to workout often varies. Losing weight followed by gaining weight is known as the yo-yo diet. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many of us and it might actually increase CVD risk #biom4180 https://t.co/46hrDhjssc

Just finished our aging presentation on sarcopenia. Looking into CVD risk and sarcopenic obese individuals. People with sarcopenic obesity are at high risk for CVD! Time to implement early diagnosis and break the stigma surrounding this disease! #biom4180 https://t.co/PVm1LOk2lw

[HelpfulHeart @heart_helpful]

Maybe time to try and cut out more of those processed foods. Given the hectic lifestyle so many of us live, it can feel quite daunting or even impossible to start getting rid of these. We need to find a better way! #nutrition #health #biom4180

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

More than 70 percent of the sodium we eat in America comes from processed, prepackaged and restaurant foods. New guidelines for kids and adults stress that cutting back can help reduce the risk of chronic disease. https://t.co/dYF8y49sLu
